Chapter 8: The Serious Fairy
In the evening, He Qing was forced to eat a meal of koi. After returning to his room, he beat the wooden fish all night. He only put away the wooden fish when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window in the early morning.
He opened his eyes, his vision clear.
He finally figured out the reason. Although he was a fairy, he was a proper fairy. He could not absorb Duan Chenhui's essence, no, the power of merit. Although it was delicious and although it was the other party who took the initiative... the merit of mortals was very important to their fortune and lifespan. He had to find a way to give it back.
"However, the general should have calmed down, right?" He even accompanied him to eat koi. He Qing got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Duan Chenhui blocking his door again.
He Qing was startled: "General? So early?"
Duan Chenhui leaned on the wheelchair armrest and raised his eyelids to look at him: "It's not early. You beat the wooden fish all night and I listened to it all night."
He Qing looked back at the room, then bowed his head and suggested tactfully: "General, why don't we upgrade the soundproofing of the room?"
"I have 3S mental strength."
"..." He Qing glanced at him again, "Listening to wooden fish is good for your physical and mental health."
Duan Chenhui smiled when he heard this: "I listened to it all night last night, and today I feel calm, maybe it's useful?"
He Qing saw him smile and walked over to push him downstairs: "That's good, I can record a message for the general."
"..." Duan Chenhui didn't expect things to develop in a strange direction, but he still said, "If you have time to record it."
"Okay, I'll record it tonight." He Qing agreed immediately, went downstairs and came to the dining room. He Qing sat down and saw that today's breakfast was finally normal. He ate quietly.
After finishing his salad, he checked the time: "General, I have to go out. I received a call from my internship last night and can go to work now."
"Well, there are only morning classes there, and you can go back to school in the afternoon." Duan Chenhui nodded, "You have a driver's license, right? There is a car outside for you, so it is convenient for you to go wherever you want."
He Qing paused and hesitated for a moment: "Is there a surveillance camera?"
"No!" Duan Chenhui put the fork on the porcelain plate with his backhand.
"Sorry, goodbye General!" He Qing ran away with her bag.
Duan Chenhui looked at his back, leaned on the table and pressed his forehead. He was not an irritable person and was calm.

He Qing ran out of the house and counted the Buddhist beads: "Amitabha." The general's mental strength should be relatively stable. When he looked up, he saw the cool and shining hover car parked in the yard.
He Qing walked over and touched it: "So handsome." He suddenly thought of Duan Chenhui's cool mecha. The general really liked this style of machine, and the low-key luxury ring. Maybe Jing Yi was right. Maybe the general was obsessed with looks.
"Ding, fingerprint recognized. Master, my name is No. 11, please get in the car." The car door opened automatically.
He remembered that Duan Chenhui's car was called No. 10. It was indeed a new car. He Qing got in and said, "Excuse me, let's go to the Central Panda Base."
"Yes." Number 11 responded and the vehicle started.
He Qing took advantage of this time to check out the latest gossip and news on the campus network, which was his latest hobby.
[Damn! Zhang Lin was assigned to feed pigs yesterday and was so angry that he ran around the campus ten times! ]
[Hahaha, he must be mad as hell. I hope he gets assigned to a good place in the midterm exam! ]
It's really miserable. He Qing smiled. This Zhang Lin is Zhang Yi's brother. He just arrived at the panda base after reading the gossip. He swiped his card to go in. The message said that there would be a meeting in the conference room first, and the administrator would assign tasks.
He Qing was walking in the corridor and turned a corner, when he suddenly met Zhang Lin who was raising pigs next door.
"Good morning, classmate Zhang." He Qing greeted him friendly.
"Good morning." Zhang Lin was silent, probably because he was depressed.
He Qing saw that his face was turning blue, so he said, "Luck is only a temporary problem."
"I know, I don't need your comfort." Zhang Lin said this harshly and walked past him.
"I think feeding pigs and raising pets are both meaningful," He Qing said, looking back.
Zhang Lin walked away without saying a word, with heavy footsteps.
He Qing turned around and continued walking. Zhang Lin was more difficult to communicate with than Zhang Yi. He suddenly thought of something and lowered his head to ask Duan Chenhui using the terminal: [Would the general be angry if he was assigned to feed pigs? ]
Duan Chenhui replied almost immediately: [Who did you see that was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish? Let me input the name.]
[……] He Qing really wanted to disconnect intelligently, [No, I just asked, I’m a little curious.]
[It’s okay. It won’t affect my normal grades.] Duan Chenhui answered again in a serious tone.
[As expected of a general.] He Qing said in a small compliment.
[They are sometimes quite sweet.] Duan Chenhui continued, [Although you are raising pandas, their bite force is very strong, so you have to be careful.]
[I will, let's talk later.] He Qing saw the conference room and ended the communication with Duan Chenhui. He pushed the door and went in. There were already quite a few people in the conference room. All of them were assigned here.
He found an empty seat and sat down. He looked around and saw no classmates there. He only heard some classmates sighing.
"I really want to join the First Adventure Group."
"By the way, Zhang Yi, why are you here too?"
"I applied for a transfer," Zhang Yi crossed his arms, "but I was transferred to the wrong place."
"Hey, you want to accompany Zhang Lin? You two brothers have a pretty good relationship. I'm envious."
"Envy, we are in the same boat."
He Qing looked over and saw that Zhang Yi, who had played a prank on him yesterday, now looked more upright and pleasing to the eye. He smiled and said, "Student Zhang looks very good today."
The corner of Zhang Yi's eye twitched. Seeing He Qingru's smile reminded him of yesterday's embarrassment: "You look better today." He gritted his teeth.
"..." The classmates watched them prepare to eat the melon. What a fuss, such a strong smell of gunpowder so early in the morning? It would be a waste if they didn't eat it.
But they didn't get to eat the melons because the dean came with his people: "Good morning, students."
"Good morning, Dean." Everyone stood up, saluted, and then sat down again.
The director glanced at them and sat down. In fact, he also had a headache. Sending people here every year was just torturing them. He took out a document that he had used for many years and read it: "In our zoo, the first thing is to take care of the animals, and the second is to feed the animals regularly... Most of these are assisted by machines... You just need to follow the instructor and submit an animal observation diary at the end of the month."
"Got it!" everyone shouted.
He Qing looked at the row of employees. It turned out to be a one-on-one instruction. After a simple training, He Qing was taken to the panda activity venue by the instructor.
"First, you need to learn to recognize pandas. The one with round ears in the front is Ali, and the one next to him is his brother Ah Hui..."
He Qing listened carefully, and suddenly the instructor turned around and tested him: "What's the name of the guy who's pinning down others to fight over there?"
He Qing looked back and saw several pandas fighting together, clearly black and white, exactly the same...
He Qing hesitated and was not sure: "I think his name is Ali?"
The instructor patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You'll recognize them after watching them more often. Monkeys see us exactly the same way."
"Yes." He Qing sighed and touched the Buddhist beads. It was the first time he realized that he was face blind to animals!
After walking for a long time, He Qing found a fat bear lying on a chair and chewing bamboo shoots: "This one is very special."
"You've got good taste. He was originally wild and his name was Dabai. His movements are very similar to those of humans and that's why he's very popular." The instructor smiled and put a few bamboo shoots from the basket on the table.
Dabai rolled his eyes and glanced at them, threw away the bamboo shell in his hand, and grabbed a fresh one, looking particularly arrogant.
He Qing stared at him again and found that this was Chi You's mount.
After feeding the panda, the instructor took him to visit the zoo, including the peacocks and crocodiles next door.
The instructor looked at the time and started to shoo him away: "That's all for today, you can go back."
"Thank you—"
Before he finished speaking, the instructor ran away, pushing the bamboo shoots, as if he was afraid that he would harm the pandas or get hurt...
He Qing sighed as he turned his Buddhist beads. Although he was an Omega, the panda really couldn't kill him. He thought about it and went next door to visit Zhang Lin who fed pigs and Zhang Yi who raised white geese.
Zhang Yi was being chased by a group of big white geese: "Instructor! Why are they chasing me?!"
"Because you are a stranger! You are holding feed in your hands!" the instructor shouted while standing by the water.
"What should we do then?"
"Abandon the guarantor!"
Zhang Yi turned around and scattered the feed on the ground, then escaped and ran back to the instructor: "They are so fierce."
"It's really fierce." He Qing, who watched the whole process, agreed.
When Zhang Yi heard the familiar voice, he looked up and saw He Qing standing by the guardrail. Veins on his forehead jumped: "You were absent from work?" And you came over to see him make a fool of himself?
"I’m off duty."
“……???” It’s only nine o’clock!
The two looked at each other, and Zhang Yi turned to ask his instructor: "Teacher, can I leave work now?"
"No." The instructor grinned, "Pandas are different from geese."
"Oh." Zhang Yi held the basin with a dead heart.
He Qing smiled and said, "Good luck, classmate. Goodbye."
"He Qing! Are you laughing at me?" Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and wanted to rush over to pull He Qing down and beat him up, but the instructor grabbed him by the collar and said, "Think about your brother. He should be in a worse situation."
"...Well, let's continue. I want to get off work early and go to class." Zhang Yi thought for a while. It is better to feed the geese by yourself than to feed the pigs. It is said that the smell of pigs when they are crowded together is terrible...
He Qing turned to look at Zhang Yi's fellow sufferer Zhang Lin. He leaned against the railing and looked down. Zhang Lin's facial expression was much calmer than Zhang Yi's.
Zhang Lin finished feeding the pigs and looked back at him: "Are you free?"
He Qing nodded: "I have finished my work, will you go back to school this afternoon?"
"Yes." Zhang Lin spoke word by word, "What's the matter?"
He Qing smiled slightly: "As expected, you are Zhang Lin." He took out his school card and said, "Please punch me in."
Zhang Lin finally raised his brows and looked at him seriously: "You want to do other things without telling the general? Why should I help you?" When you clock in at school with your school card, a message will be sent to your guardian.
He Qing put away the smile on his face. Zhang Lin was indeed more perceptive than Zhang Yi. "Then I'll go to Zhang Yi for help?"
Zhang Lin stared at him fiercely for a moment, then stretched out his hand: "Throw it down."
"Thank you, classmate." He Qing smiled and immediately threw his card down to prevent Zhang Lin from changing his mind.
Zhang Lin continued: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the general?"
He Qing clasped his hands together and saluted: "If you tell on me, I will have a way to solve it. If you don't tell on me, it will be more convenient for me."
Zhang Lin curled his lips and put the card away: "I hope the general will reveal your true face soon."
"Amitabha." He Qing did not refute. He nodded to thank him again, then turned and left the zoo. He had other things to do in the afternoon.
When the one-month deadline was up, he had to return the egg.
